I hope you had a great time of celebration! ^^
A new year always brings along new hope, new goals and new expectations for me. Fireworks are usually harbingers to a new year. They lift people out of their reality for a while, and inject magic into the otherwise worn out souls.
I love fireworks. ^^
Well, I started this semester a week earlier than most of the NUS students, working at NUH paediatrics ward. I have a soft spot for sick/neglected/abandoned/abused/suicidal children. It breaks my heart. I feel helpless.
As nurses, we are supposed to foster rapport with patients, yet at the same time, remain emotionally detached. What a feat. I guess it is for self-protection, you don’t want to cry during/after work every day. It could be overwhelming and draining. We tend to keep our emotions hidden, exhibiting a nonchalant outlook, but that does not make us less human.
I have 5 more days in paeds, and let’s see what it will bring forth…
Academic studies will commence next week in school, I’m actually quite excited and for all the wrong reasons.
Well, have a great year ahead everyone! ^^ Enjoy.
